+ were rebuked. They seized the infrastructure and stole the donations, but the project + successfully moved on without them and has been fully revived. Since then, they've + taken to fraudulently claiming ownership and authorship of our work, which has no + basis in fact. They've tried to retroactively change the terms of their involvement + and rewrite the history of the project. These claims are easily falsified through the + public record and by people involved with the open source project and the former + sponsor. This former sponsor has engaged in a campaign of misinformation and + harassment of contributors to the project. Be aware that they are actively trying to + sabotage GrapheneOS and are engaging in many forms of attacks against the project, the + developers, contributors and supporters. Meanwhile, they continue profiting from our + open source work which they falsely claim as their own creation. -The project was rebranded to AndroidHardening and then to GrapheneOS and it has - continued down the original path of being an independent open source project. It will - never again be closely tied to any particular sponsor or company.
